Autentik AI’s Post

I am grateful to have joined an inspiring convening in Bentonville with Stanford University School of Medicine, the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, and global leaders in health to explore how AI can unlock healthier communities. I had the pleasure of moderating a conversation with Meta Freddy Abnousi, MD, MBA, MSc, Stanford’s James Landay, and technologist Mira Murati about the potential transformative power, and risks, of this new frontier in health. If society is able to anchor health-related AI transformation in enabling overall wellness, take learnings from its application in other sectors, and build from a place of equity and ethics, there is an opportunity to democratize access to more years of good health. #globalhealth #AI #AIandHealth

Responsible #AI #event #sanfrancisco I'll be attending this exciting event on November 22 in San Francisco. In this rapidly evolving AI era, the impact of AI on the emotional, social, and cognitive development of children is underestimated and overlooked. This is why, the nonprofit organization everyone.AI, is on a mission to anticipate and educate about the risks and opportunities of AI for children and adolescents. They believe that AI has the potential to bring positive transformation, but as a society, we must implement safeguards and anticipate its uses to ensure responsible development. Their approach is rigorous and informed by the latest scientific research, led by Mathilde Cerioli, Ph.D Their first research report, "The Future of Child Development in the AI Era," has just been published last May. It is based on a multidisciplinary approach that includes AI experts like Gregory Renard and child development experts. They are eager to collaborate with other organizations, individuals, and institutions who care about developing AI responsibly and safeguarding future generations. They are seeking support to increase awareness, advocate for responsible AI development, and secure financial backing. They are looking for #sponsors for their upcoming events and actions.

✨ The Intersection of AI and Women’s Health ✨  As a software engineer with a strong interest in medicine, I had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking session yesterday at the seventh meeting of the AI for Women’s Health Group, hosted by The Alan Turing Institute, on how AI is shaping women's health. It was fascinating to see technology making strides in an area so close to my heart.  The first talk, led by Dilara Tank, took me back to my ChestMultiVision project, where I applied AI to healthcare through real-time multi-disease chest X-ray diagnosis. 🩺Dilara's discussion of semantic segmentation in transvaginal ultrasound imaging opened my eyes to how similar techniques are advancing gynecological diagnostics. The findings from their feasibility study on automated uterus segmentation were incredibly insightful, particularly the challenges and potential of deep learning in this domain.  The second talk, led by Stefanie Felsberger struck a chord as it aligns with my previous work on a personalized health and wellness app for individuals with PCOS. 📱Hearing about the broader implications of cycle tracking apps—both their benefits and pitfalls—was a learning moment. It deepened my understanding of how data-driven systems can empower users but also where they can fall short in addressing personalized needs.  These talks reaffirmed my aspiration to one day contribute to building AI solutions that uplift and empower women. I’m truly inspired by the intersection of AI and healthcare and the potential it holds to create meaningful change.  💡 If you’re exploring similar avenues or have thoughts on AI in women's health, I’d love to connect and discuss! #WomeninSTEM #WomeninAI #MenstrualHealthAI #Innovation #Research #AIforHealth #TheAlanTuringInstitute #AI #WomensHealth #ClinicalAI

TED Talks have mastered a rare art: conveying compelling ideas through stories. But what draws me to them isn't just the storytelling; it's how they frame complexity as a journey of possibility. That approach is especially important when exploring AI in healthcare, where the risks and ethical considerations are real. However, focusing on those alone would ignore the significant potential for early disease detection, broader healthcare access, personalized treatment, and many other benefits. Together, that balanced, optimistic vision doesn't just show what's possible, but what's worth pursuing. Here are some of my favorite TEDx talks for those interested in the field: AI in Healthcare: The Next Frontier – Leonardo Castorina 🔗 https://lnkd.in/egZ6S9st   How AI and Humans Can Revolutionize Medicine Together – Harvey Castro 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eSyYj3dR   How AI Can Heal Healthcare – Edmund Jackson 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFt5Kq5B   AI: Poison or the Pill to Heal Healthcare – Jon Pangia 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqJ6PXD9   How AI Robots are Changing Healthcare – Charles Gellman 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8TnHQZf   Flipping the Clinic to Align with AI and Medicine – Isaac Kohane 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eMKQP_r7   Transforming Biomedical Research through AI – Manolis Kellis 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e2FPzahS   What If GenAI Can Generate Biology – Geoff van Maltzahn 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e-2QeDNF   Could AI Find Your Cancer – Anant Madabhushi 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eQNiFdiK   How AI Can Improve Childhood Mental Health Care – Bryn Loftness 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eX-jJYSm   Understanding the Ethical Dance of AI and Healthcare – Ashleigh Kennedy 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eKfhTQ5K   AI and the Doctor-Patient Relationship – Mary Mason 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e9wsYrFB

📲As a former pre-med and computer science major who spent my undergrad summers working at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, I’ve always had an interest in how we can merge technology and healthcare for health equity. 💻While AI has been with us including in healthcare for decades (I remember taking my first AI programming course in college in the late 90s), I’ve been impressed by the recent rapid advancements in AI, notably in generative AI. 📲Stephen Norris’s recent blog series delves into AI's impact on healthcare, addressing biases and its potential to boost health equity. You can read it the series here: https://lnkd.in/esn-Sa54 💻 Zainab Garba-Sani’s A.C.C.E.S.S. AI model emphasizes community-centered, multi-stakeholder-informed AI implementation in healthcare. This model speaks to the need to have marginalized and minoritized communities prioritized and as the drivers and contributors to AI design, development, implementation and use. Find out more about this model here: https://lnkd.in/ex7D3--J 📲We are often not in the room when these technologies are being developed. Advocates of racial and health equity need to be at the table, or this already exponential growth in GenAI will not only leave us behind but potentially worsen health inequities. As a collective, we need to drive this transformative change! #HealthTech #AI #HealthEquity #DataGovernance #PreMed #ComputerScience #Innovation https://lnkd.in/eDbvvgeG

AI and the digital divide - a hot and controversial topic at the moment! AI is a technology that divides the tech community, I heard many sides of this at the two events I attended last night. The possibilities are endless, and the technology feels like it is moving at a pace where even those in the industry can feel overwhelmed and struggle to stay ahead of 'what's next' - it can be intimidating, and I don't think anyone in the industry is naive to that fact. And, whilst these technologies present endless opportunities, they also risk exacerbating inequalities. According to the 2023 Australian Digital Inclusion Index, 1 in 4 Australians are digitally excluded, missing out on vital skills, and the basic access and understanding of current technology. Digital inclusion focuses on providing access to all aspects of the digital landscape, ensuring that nobody is left behind. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to actively support those around us, including our colleagues, family, friends, neighbours, and community to educate people as best we can to use technology. Doing our part to close the digital divide and ensure everyone can participate and benefit from the digital world. I am not negating the fact that there are huge risks and challenges ahead. However, with the rise of AI, the urgency for equitable digital inclusion intensifies, and we all need to ensure we are playing our part to support, educate, and safeguard vulnerable people as our world opens up to endless possibilities at a rapid rate. I feel AI in the disability sector, and within all minority group communities, will do some really amazing and exciting things - life-changing for so many people. I heard and saw this at the AI & Assistive Technologies event, hosted by WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH) last night. Whether you are 'for' or 'against' at some point we all need to come together and agree that the train has left the station, and we can't bury our heads in the sand. We all need to understand the good that comes from change, and technology if used diligently and thoughtfully. If you are completely 'against', you are entitled to that opinion, but I encourage you to educate yourself on some of the positives that can come of this and look outside the bubble of doom and gloom. Those who have it can't use privilege (in whatever form) to dismiss these advancements, because if we all plead ignorance then those who don't have that luxury are affected most and also miss out. Let's all continue the conversation and action towards digital equality for everyone.
